Ask HN: Estimating % of dev using coding assistants
japoneris Thursday, January 15, 2026Hello all, I discovered two months ago how helpful ai agents are. On HN, everyday, there are new articles about claude code or its friends. I feel like ''this is a very hot topic'', and happy to know a bit more everyday.
Yet, when i ask my collegues or friends, i feel very alone, where developpers are only asking a few questions to copilot, nothing more.
HN is a microcosm of geeks/early adopters. How is it around you ? Which percentage of people around you ''adopted'' coding agents ? Is there reluctancy to use AI ?
